The Jumping Monks hail from the western outskirts of San Antonio, TX. Brothers, Travis and Weston Ripps founded the band in 2002, and with their original guitarist, released their debut album, Green Apple Worms (GAW) in 2003. The band toured the state of Texas promoting the album, which included a stop on the Vans Warped Tour 2003. Singles, Rock in the Revolution and cover tune, Runaround Sue received moderate airplay on many Texas radio shows. The band independently sold hundreds of copies of GAW.The brothers parted ways with their original guitarist in 2005, and picked up friend, and ex-Revelaide guitarist, Adam Jacobs. After over a year of writing together, the J-Monks hit the studio in May of 2007 and started recording their much anticipated sophomore album.In early November of 2007, the band will see the release of the 13-track album titled "Won't You?". The first release is the album's title track, which features the J-Monks' truely original sound and showcases the bands wide array of musical influences. The new album will soon be available through many digital outlets, and the first single is currently available through the bands' website and MySpace page. The band will tour the South in support of the new CD starting November 2007.
